I am based in Tamworth NSW and am lucky enough to be a continuing performer at the Country Music Festival each year as well as Bearstock Festival in Adelaide and others..and a Radio Host for "Charlies Original Music Show" which promotes and gives airtime to Tamworth based artists and Touring artists passing through the city.

What We Need & What You Get

I need funding to record a collection of songs I have written over many years but until now have not been able to place into one co heasive collection and press the CDs for your listening pleasure, songs of Hope, Love, Loss and the Human Condition in all its beautiful, colourful and inspiring forms.

All funding will be going to that end and with your kind and generous support enable me to launch my musical career into touring across Australia (and beyond) out of Pubs and Clubs and into the concert arena.

All contributers over $25 will recieve a signed copy of the CD and be listed on the cover as a sponsor and if I am lucky enough to be playing in a venue near you the chance to thank you personally!

The Impact

I can not explain fully what you contribution will do to help me record this collection of well crafted and crowd tested songs and music and how thankful I am for your interest and contribution. 

The main thrust of my campaign apart from recording and pressing this Album is to help me step up in my career and perform my music in concert style that I have been preparing for all my working life.

I have been a hardworking, self funded musician for over twenty years and if you know anything about the Australia Music scene you would know that gigging can make you a living but doesn't leave a lot left in the bank to cover recording and promotion costs and that's where I need your generous support.

I have been a successful entertainer for a long time, sold reasonable amounts of CDs and songs and worked with some of Australia's best loved artists and until now have not felt like I have a collection of commercial, accessable songs that would satisfy a wider audience of music lovers.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't help with contributions but feel you would like to support my campaign please pass it on or share with friends and family that you think would like the kind of music I write and record, Acoustic based, harmony infussed, lush, cool and rythmic.
